The Good News is that I have close to 100 people participating in the
2nd Mamarazzi's Favorite Things Swap the response was amazing and a little overwhelming! BUT i most def learned from my first experience hosting AND learned from other's mistakes when participating in gift exchanges hosted by other bloggers and i feel like the system i have set in motion for organizing this is a good one...virtually fail proof. If you signed up and followed all of the directions you should have received a
confirmation email from me and replied to
THAT email, letting me know we are communicating and all things are a go.
IF you have not received a confirmation email or an email from me saying you skipped a step and needed to fix that to hold your spot, then you need to get in touch with me BEFORE Feb 13 or you will lose your spot.
The Bad News is that i am no longer accepting RSVPs for the swap. We are full. I know i said i was going to leave it open for sign ups until Feb 13 BUT i also said i had a number in mind for how many people i was going to let play...that number was 100.
More Good News...this will NOT be the last swap I host AND I will be taking a vote on the THEME for the next swap. Soooo the good news FAR out weighs the bad news...aren't you happy?! I am.

You popular girl! Congrats on filling up so quickly. :)
Ok...so I'm a slacker that didn't get in on-time. I just found this site yesterday through another blog that I follow. HOWEVER... I will do my best to be less of a slacker next time.
I do have a suggestion for your next swap:
1. Spring Fling
2. Mom's Love
Have fun with the current one. I can't wait to see some of the things that get swapped around!
Wow!! I sure am glad that I did not hesitate. :) I can't wait to see who you match me up with. If you've closed RSVPs does that mean we get to find out who our partners are sooner????
i've been so busy i missed signing up! i am totally bummed i missed a spot :( if any open up, can i squeeze in?
saying hello to a fellow welcomista!
Congrats! I can't wait to get my partner!!
Have fun matching.
What about a summer fun swap?--Beach, pool, outdoors, that kind of stuff.
You are the WOMAN! 100 is a lot of organizing. I am so excited. This swap will be the best.
Wow, I can't believe it filled up so quickly! I'm glad I sat my butt down and got my RSVP in! Wha-hoo! I barely made it! Thanks for hosting this!
one hundred? that's so cool! i am going to take credit for at least TWO of those sign-ons lol. it's going to be a blast! thank you in advance for organising such a cool event!
I'm looking forward to finding out who I am swapping with!!!
Darn it.
Hope all goes well for ya.
Aw man, that's what I get for waiting a day. But what an awesome response. Hope everyone has fun! I'll definately hop on board early next time!
I am really impressed that you're organizing such a ginormous swap!
Wooo Hooo, can't wait.
Wow, missed out on that one!
awesome! congrats on that success! and good luck to all the swappers!
Oh man I can't believe I missed it! Have been away and didn't get a chance. Oh well I am looking forward to the next one!
Look at you and all your coolness! I could never host a swap...I can't keep up with anything like that....I can't believe how organized you are--especially since I know you never sleep. :)
And I really need to e-mail or text you!
No....I can't believe I'm too late :(, but I'm soooo happy for you!
I'll definitely participate on the next one :)
I wondered what that "magic" number was--you are super for taking this on and I know it is going to be a success from all the enthusiasm I have read in this posts & comments.
Glad I'm in!
